 -> Your local home hardware store should have some 4 conductor 24 gage
 -> solid copper phone cable. Be sure to get the one that is "rated for
 -> in wall use", not the modular phone cable. The former is a little
 -> more expensive than the latter but it has a thicker insulator
 -> jacket, cost is about 20 cents a foot.
 MF> How about 22 gauge wire, I think that might be better.
 
I guess it would be ok if it has the proper insulation for phone line
voltage.
An other thing to take into consideration is the color coding of cable's
wire insulation. If you get some non-standard wire that has different
colors than regular phone cable it may cause confusion down the road if
you, or someone else needs to work on the phone lines. Although, you
could attach a note to the end of the new cable describing which wires
are what.
 
 -> Also, be sure to use "crimp connectors" for all of your
 MF> Crimp connectors?? never seen those used for phone wire connections.
Yeah, they work much better than twisting the wires together then
folding electrical tape on them. If you are trying reduce line noise,
make sure all connections are good.
